Re: 95 JGC with oil leak
 

I have seen them having a 5/8 (?) bolt head, some have an allen bolt head,
others have a torx head. I had a shop replace mine at the time they were
doing the valve cover gasket and changing the rear swaybar. I bought the
orings at the stealer.

Thanks for the info!

Any comments on retorquing the head if/while I have the valve cover off?
Not loosening, just running the pattern to make sure they're to spec.
